Scandals Are Actually Boosting Trump's Poll Numbers As Nikki Haley Goes Down In Flames

The latest polls show that Donald Trump now has a commanding lead over ALL of his Republican rivals - both declared and undeclared - and it seems like nothing to slow him down. Even with the recent criminal indictments and nonstop scandals, more and more Republicans seem to favor the twice-impeached former President. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley has dropped considerably, and is now losing to a bunch of people who haven't even announced their runs yet. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

One before the Egen Carroll Assault and Defamation trial verdict came out against Donald Trump this week. Something else came out for Donald Trump and it was a poll from, uh, morning Consult, a reliable poll, margin of error only plus minus two percentage points. So it's right in that sweet spot of where you want to be. And this poll found that Donald Trump now has the support of 60% of Republicans in the Republican 2024 Presidential primary. The closest person to him, as you would expect, is Ron DeSantis, who has a whopping 19%. 19. So Donald Trump has a 41 point lead over the number two person who for the record still has not yet, even though he did say this week, he pretty much is, uh, declared that he's running for President Trump's got it in the bag. It is on lock. It's pretty much done. 60%, 60% while he was on trial, or a civil trial at least, that he didn't show up to for assault. 60% after he is criminally indicted, 60% after the Capitol riot, 60% after years of and moaning and whining about the 2020 election. 60 effing percent.

But that's not the most staggering part about this poll. The thing I love the most about this poll is how much Nikki Haley has suddenly just disappeared from existence. I see her on Twitter like all the time, hyping things up, and she's like doing speeches and she has now fallen from 9% to, uh, a whopping three, 3%. So Nikki Haley, in spite of doing really nothing, uh, has now fallen from 9% to 3% in the last month and a half. Asa Hutchinson, the other Republican who has officially declared. And there's of course, the Republican businessman who doesn't even register in the poll. Asa Hutchinson is at a staggering 1%. I mean, Liz Cheney, who's not running for president, is at 2%. Mike Pence is, uh, let's see, where is Mike Pence? Um, oh, yikes. He's at five Wow. Is also not officially declared, but, uh, yeah, Nikki Haley going down in flames. Quite, quite staggeringly for somebody that hasn't

Actually had any like scandals, I guess you would call it. Like she hasn't gone out there and completely made a fool of herself. But she also hasn't made a name for herself either. That's what's so funny. I could get the drop in polls if she had come out and just said something stupid that captivated the news cycle. But the news cycle doesn't even care about Nikki Haley. Maybe that's why she's polling so badly. Everybody forgot she even existed. But the 60% for Donald Trump shows us that yep, Republicans are gonna do it again, which means we're headed for a Trump versus Biden 2024. I know there's still plenty of time anything could happen, but at this point, watching Trump's poll numbers increase after scandal, after scandal, after scandal, I'm gonna go ahead and put smart money on Trump being the nominee. And that's probably not gonna end well for the Republicans.
